Abstract

This is a paper based on cognitive psychology’s view of “curvilinear” optimism-pessimism and hence, with a flavor of behavioral macroeconomics. The substructure of a real overlapping-generations business cycle model is assumed to be underlined by the long-term character of the rational expectations of the big socioeconomic elite. This model is combined with the general-public’s view of the economy, which is assumed to be an extrapolation of the changing psychology of the community about the banking system. An exogenous shock will be propagated through this mass psychology. Policy-wise, the public sector is assumed away and the only purpose of the monetary authority is to secure the efficiency of intergenerational income distribution in a business environment with zero steady-state profit. Within this context, monetary policy is found to be in the spirit of the Old Chicago quantity theory from the viewpoint that is should be subject to a full-employment-wage standard in a gold-standard fashion. It is a countercyclical policy and not a version of the modern revival of inflation targeting, which is of the sort held responsible for the 1929 Crash. В основу данного исследования положен тезис когнитивной психологии о криволинейности настроений оптимизма и пессимизма в контексте поведенческой макроэкономики. Предполагается, что реальная субструктура модели перекрывающихся поколений экономического цикла обусловлена долговременным характером рациональных ожиданий больших социально-экономических элит. Далее модель соединяется с обобщенным взглядом широких масс населения на экономику, что, как предполагается, позволяет экстраполировать меняющуюся психологию населения относительно банковской системы. Именно экзогенный шок будет распространяться путем влияния на массовую психологию. При этом авторы абстрагируются от наличия какого-либо рационально управляемого публичного сектора, а единственной целью монетарной власти является обеспечение эффективности распределения доходов между когортами населения с постоянным нулевым результатом для предпринимательской среды. В этом смысле монетарная политика ведется в духе старой Чикагской количественной школы, т. е. опирается на принцип равновесия «полная занятость - заработная плата» в духе эры золотого стандарта. Это антициклическая политика, а не современное воскрешение таргетирования инфляции, что являлось одной из причин краха 1929 г.
